Class Description
In this class, we’re traveling to South Asia to examine the mysteries from six countries over six weeks. The first part of each class will be a presentation on the country’s history, culture and mystery tradition. The second half will be a lively discussion of the mystery assigned for the week.
Tom Irvine manages an Information Technology department during the day and teaches literature and history at night.
